Techniques to help you fall asleep faster and achieve quality sleep. 1. Regular exercise - Being active can help tire your body to prepare it for sleep. Make sure to leave 1-2 hours between vigorous activity and bedtime to allow your body to wind down. 2. Limit naps - Taking naps outside your normal sleep hours can disrupt your sleep routine. 3. Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and smoking before bed - Caffeine and nicotine can keep your body and mind alert up to seven hours after they're consumed. Alcohol may send you off to sleep faster but can cause later disruptions and will affect the quality of sleep you have. 4. Allow yourself to wind down - Give your body and mind a chance to relax. In the 1-2 hours before bed, unwind through a calming activity like reading, watching TV, or having a bath. 5. Be consistent with your bedtime - Going to bed at a similar time each night reinforces to your body that it's time to wind down. 6. Set a digital curfew - Avoid screens by turning your phone off or on 'do not disturb' at least 30 minutes before going to sleep. Consider leaving your device in another room. Screen light and apps are designed to trigger hormones in your brain that keep you alert. 7. Make your bedroom your sanctuary - Keeping your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool will create a healthy sleeping environment. 8. Leave your worries out of the bedroom - If you find you're overthinking things, it may help to write down the thoughts to get them out of your head then revisit them the next day. 9. Get out of bed if you can’t sleep - After 30 minutes, if you don’t feel sleepy, get up and do a relaxing activity. Try to avoid looking at your phone or watching TV. Go back to bed once you’re feeling sleepy again. Sleep meditation, mindfulness and breathing techniques can help you fall asleep faster by calming racing thoughts, letting go of daily stress and easing you into sleep.
